Why must one have a title anyway?

Hello friends! Whewie! Is it evermore windy here in NC today. I went outside to take a few pictures and it felt like the hair was going to blow right off of my pointy head.

This little guy looked like he was hanging on for dear life. I just love how he is all hunkered down on the fence.

I did a little finishing this morning. Here is the 4th Lizzie Kate Halloween Rules ornament. I was supposed to have all 12 of them finished by now. You know what they say about the best laid plans doncha? This will be the last one for this year as I am pretty much in full on Christmas stitching mode now. I'll start back on them in January and hopefully finish them all in 2013. (I heard you laughing!)

I finished the Plum Street Samplers piece into a simple pillow. I auditioned several trims but in the end just decided to add a button to each corner and call it done. This will be a nice addition to my Thanksgiving mantle display.

I just noticed I now have 200 followers! Thank you all so much for visiting my little corner of the web. I really appreciate all your encouragement and friendship. I do believe a little giveaway is in order. How about I stitch or sew a little something just for the winner? If you would like to be included, please leave a comment on this post. You must be a follower of my blog as this is a giveaway for my followers only. I will draw a name next Saturday and then get busy making something especially suited for the person who wins.

Your two finishes are great. I like the bottons in the corners of the second piece. I'd love to be included in your giveaway! Congratulations on 200 followers. I hope that you're not in the path of this big storm. It sounds like it's going to be a monster.

I like your "title" for this post...have often thought that myself! Love that little cardinal! So fluffy! Beautiful finishes and I especially like the Give Thanks piece. I have this kitted in black but I really like how you stitched it!! Congrats on reaching 200 followers!

MyraYour two finishes are wonderful...I am especially drawn to the Thanksgiving pillow, as this is a favorite holiday...no presents but great food...the pennies along the edge make the piece even more appealing!Please enter me in your giveaway. I spent the day readying for the arrival of Sandy...now we just pray.Busy Hands...Happy HeartPatricia

I have exactly the same problem ..lol would love to have something stitched and finished by you as I have drooled mouse like of course over many of your creations :)take care and happy stitching :) love mouse xxxx

Love your finishes! I enjoyed seeing the cardinal. I was so surprised to learn that we have no cardinals in Wa, not sure why-maybe they just never made it this far. Please include me in your give-away and congratulations all the followers.

Your finishes are really inspiring - that's definitely something I'm committing to working on in the new year. I'd love to be considered for your give-away. Hope you've battened down the hatches and stay safe!

Poor little birdie! Yesterday I watched mourning doves clinging to the wires by my home, during the storm! Wonder how they are now?? Congrats on 200 followers! Please include me in your drawing. You do such beautiful work, it would be an honor to receive a gift! Stay safe! Hugs!
